WooCommerce: Replace Variable Price With Active Variation Price

Surprisingly enough, variable products with a price range display two prices: at the top right you find the “parent” product price, displayed as a range; but once you select a variation, a second price appear just above the variation add to cart. Somewhat confusing.

In today’s solution, we’ll see once and for all how to replace the top right variable product price with the one of the current variation, while also hiding the variation price. Therefore, you’ll see a single price on the single product page for variable products. Enjoy!

PHP Snippet: Dynamically Update Variable Product Price With Current Variation Price

Note: the jQuery statements included in the snippet target specific CSS classes in order to replace the price HTML. If your theme uses customized HTML and different classes, the code won’t work. Make sure to test this code on a default theme, such as Storefront, to make sure it actually works; and only then try to adjust the jQuery to target the correct non-default classes.
